SATCHEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,472, datedSeptember 6, 1887.

Application filed April 13, 1887. Serial No. 234,570. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HERMAN Seances and Isaac Sermons, of the city ofNew York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Satchels, of which the following is aspeciiieation.

Satchels are usually provided on the out side with a pocket which isclosed by a wing or flap having a suitable fastening. This pocket isusually used for receiving papers and like articles.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved satchel inwhich the space on the side of the satchel can be utilized for holding.and receiving toilet articles, such as brushes, combs, mirrors, and thelike.

i The invention consists in the combination, with a satchel, of a wingor flap fastened to one side of the satchel at the bottom edge andadapted to fold up against the side of the satchel, to which wing loopsor holders for the toilet articles are provided. A flap is secured onthe same side of the satchel at the top, and a flap is provided at eachend, all as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter, andfinally pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of our improvedsatchel closed. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing the wings orflaps at one .side of the satchel open. Fig. 3 is an end view of thesatchel, showing one wing open and the top and bottom wings closed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

On one side, A, of the satchel clasps a, or analogous devices forholding the mirror 13, are provided. At the bottom edge of said side thesatchel is provided with a wing or l'lap, (3, which is adapted to foldup against said side of the satchel, and on the inner surface of thiswing or flap C are provided a se ries of loops or holders, D, for toiletarticles, such as brushes, combs, cosmetics, and the like. On the top ofsaid side of the satchel I provide awing or flap, E, which can be foldedover and overlap the upper part of the wing or flap 0. The wing G isprovided with fastening devices G, which engage suitable apertures oreyelets, H, on the wing or flap E.

The toilet articles are held on the inside of the wing or flap C, asshown in Fig. 2, and

this flap is folded up against that side of the satchel on which themirror is held, as shown 5 in Fig. 3. The flaps F are folded over theends of the said flap O, and the wing or flap E vis folded down over theend flaps, I and over the upper part of the wing or flap 0, the flap Ebeing held in place by means of fastening devices G. The end wings orflaps, F, are held in place by being overlapped by the corners of theflap or wing E, and they pre vent the articles from dropping out at theends of the satchel.

All the flaps or wings are arranged at the outside of one side wall ofthe satchel-body, so as to form an exterior attachment for the toiletarticles.

One of the advantages of this improved 7o satchel is that the toiletarticles do not come in contact with the garments, and do not occupy anyof the space in the interior of the satchel.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent In a satchel, the combination,with asatchelbody, of a flap'or wing attached to the bottom edge of one sideof the body, and provided on its inner surface with loops or holders fortoilet articles, flaps or wings attached to the ends of the satchel-bodyand adapted to fold over the ends of the above-mentioned flap or wing,and a flap or wing attached to the upper part of the body and adapted tofold over the bottom flap or wing and the end flaps, all said flapsbeing arranged on the outside of the satchel-body, and connectingdevices for conmeeting the top and bottom iiaps or wings when the upperflap is folded over the lower flap, substantially as shown anddescribed.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signedour names in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
